Practical Handling of Dynamic Environments in Decentralised Multi-Robot Patrol
James C. Ward, Arthur Richards, Edmund R. Hunt
Persistent monitoring using robot teams is of interest in fields such as security, environmental monitoring, and disaster recovery. Performing such monitoring in a fully on-line de…
Time-Constrained Intelligent Adversaries for Automation Vulnerability Testing: A Multi-Robot Patrol Case Study
James C. Ward, Alex Bott, Connor York +1
Simulating hostile attacks of physical autonomous systems can be a useful tool to examine their robustness to attack and inform vulnerability-aware design. In this work, we examine…
Lightweight Decentralized Neural Network-Based Strategies for Multi-Robot Patrolling
James C. Ward, Ryan McConville, Edmund R. Hunt
The problem of decentralized multi-robot patrol has previously been approached primarily with hand-designed strategies for minimization of 'idlenes' over the vertices of a graph-st…
Co-Movement and Trust Development in Human-Robot Teams
Nicola Webb, Sanja Milivojevic, Mehdi Sobhani +5
For humans and robots to form an effective human-robot team (HRT) there must be sufficient trust between team members throughout a mission. We analyze data from an HRT experiment f…
Swift Trust in Mobile Ad Hoc Human-Robot Teams
Sanja Milivojevic, Mehdi Sobhani, Nicola Webb +5
Integrating robots into teams of humans is anticipated to bring significant capability improvements for tasks such as searching potentially hazardous buildings. Trust between human…
